Chapter 819 - 819: The Perceptive Loli
"You're coming to deal with me and you don't even know who I am?" Ye Fei was kind of at a loss for words.
"Then listen up, my name is Ye Fei, and I grew up in Wanghai."
The woman really didn't know Ye Fei's name beforehand. She had only vaguely heard that he was some kind of gang leader in this area.
As a true martial artist, she naturally didn't take such people seriously. But she never expected that this guy, whom she didn't even consider worth her attention, would be so formidable.
However, even after hearing Ye Fei's introduction, the woman was still clueless. She had never heard of any powerful Ye family in Wanghai.
There was a martial arts family with the surname Liu, but they were just some minor, insignificant faction.
"I have a family member named Ye Zhilin!" Seeing the woman's puzzled expression, Ye Fei added this line.
If it weren't for the suspicious nature of her mission, he wouldn't have bothered to explain further.
At the mention of "Ye Zhilin," the woman's face changed instantly.
Ever since the martial arts conference, that name has become extremely well-known among martial artists.
Although the Begonia Sect hadn't sent anyone to the last conference, they had all heard of him and understood that Ye Zhilin was no ordinary figure.
He had outperformed the three major factions—Shaolin, Wudang, and Cihang Jingzhai—to become the alliance leader. His reputation was well-deserved.
Ye Fei inwardly marveled at the power of his aunt's name and continued to question the woman. "Now can you tell me the truth?"
"Go ahead and ask," the woman replied, resigned to her fate.
"Alright, tell me who sent you and what your purpose is," Ye Fei demanded.
The woman hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Our sect leader, Zhong Lingxiu, sent me. The purpose was to bring the four young ladies to the Begonia Sect."
Before she finished speaking, everyone except her and Ye Fei gasped in surprise. The landlords couldn't believe their ears and asked, "Are you saying that the eldest miss has become the sect leader?"
Gu Xuehan and the three little girls were even more incredulous, exclaiming, "You're lying! Mom would never send you to scare us like this!"
It was then that Ye Fei learned that Gu Xuehan's mother was named Zhong Lingxiu—a very beautiful name.
Of course, like the Gu sisters, he didn't believe for a second that this woman was sent by her to intimidate her daughters. He said sternly, "Do you expect me to believe that?"
"I'm telling the truth," the woman defended herself at first. But when she saw the deadly look in Ye Fei's eyes, she continued, "The sect leader just wanted me to bring her daughters to her for a reunion. But I had another mission."
That made more sense! Ye Fei nodded to himself and pressed on, "What was the mission, and who gave the order?"
"It was our former sect leader. She wanted me to secretly threaten the four young ladies into saying they didn't want to see their mother, to cut off the current sect leader's attachment to them," the woman explained without hesitation.
Her former master undoubtedly had absolute authority in the sect, but things were different now.
The current sect leader was on the verge of a breakthrough, with the same level of strength as the old one, and her external support was incredibly powerful.
In this situation, the woman knew very well which side she should be on.
Ye Fei was about to ask more when he heard a sound of sobbing from the side. He turned his head and saw that the Gu sisters were crying softly. Their cries were a mix of joy and sorrow.
They were all very smart girls. By this point, they couldn't fail to understand.
Their mother hadn't been in touch with them all these years not because she didn't miss them, but because she was powerless to do otherwise.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent for them as soon as she became the sect leader before she had even established her power base.
Knowing that their mother loved them made them happy, of course.
But when they thought about it, they had each other for the company while missing their mother.
What about her?
Who comforted her when she missed her daughters? So, while the four sisters were happy to know their mother's love, they couldn't help but feel sad for what she had gone through over the years.
Ye Fei didn't try to comfort the girls. Their emotions were running high, and crying was a good way to let off some steam.
So he continued to question the woman, "There's one thing I've never understood. Why did your former sect leader insist on preventing the mother-daughter reunion? If she had allowed it, I believe your current sect leader would have been even more dedicated to the sect."
With that, he lifted the restraint on the woman with a thought.
Suddenly free, the woman couldn't help but stretch her limbs and glanced at Ye Fei with a hint of fear. "Because our current sect leader is a once-in-a-century talent in the sect.
The former sect leader always wanted her to practice the sect's ultimate technique, the 'Supreme Indifference Cultivation Method.'"
So that's how it was. Ye Fei nodded inwardly.
Although the woman hadn't explained everything clearly, just hearing the name of the technique, especially the word "indifference," made it clear to everyone present.
As a result, Ye Fei's resentment towards the so-called former sect leader unconsciously diminished a bit. After all, she was acting in the interest of the sect.
"Hey, Ye Fei, don't let Mom practice that 'forgetting emotions' thing, okay?" came the soft, delicate voice.
Ye Fei looked down to see a little girl tugging at his clothes, her face tilted up at him, beautiful and adorable to the extreme, with a look of earnest hope in her eyes.
Next to her were two identical little faces and an older girl, all looking at him expectantly.
These four were, of course, the Gu sisters. What struck Ye Fei as odd was that the one pleading with him was the most sensible and quiet of the triplets, Gu Xuerong.
Truth be told, if it were just by appearance, even Ye Fei couldn't tell the three sisters apart. Probably the only person in the world who could do that was Gu Xuehan, who had watched them grow up.
But no matter how similar they looked, there would always be some differences in their auras.
And Ye Fei, with his unparalleled sensitivity to women's auras, could distinguish the three little girls just as well as Gu Xuehan could.
Wen Rou smiled gently, and Ye Fei said softly, "Don't worry. From what I can tell, your mom doesn't want to practice that technique at all. Now that she's reunited with you, she definitely won't want to. You don't need to be concerned."
After hearing Ye Fei's words, the four sisters' faces all showed a hint of reluctance. They understood what he meant: he wanted them to reunite with their mom, which meant they would have to part ways with him.
Naturally, they were very reluctant.
However, since Ye Fei was always so busy and often couldn't see them for ten days or half a month, they had gotten used to it.
They could just think of it as him being busy again, and besides, they would get to see their mom, so they were mostly happy. They all nodded their heads vigorously, even the usually strong Gu Xuehan.
"Did you hear me? Go back and tell your former sect leader not to let Gu Xuehan's mom practice that lousy technique. Otherwise, I'll wipe out your sect and disable her martial arts skills!" Ye Fei turned to threaten the woman, and after seeing her meekly nod, he said, "Alright, all of you get out. I still have some things to talk to these sisters about."
